Abstract

The belief that the king had inherited the throne of Egypt from the gods who created Egypt and ruled it 
in previous periods, as the nine gods (the Ninth) succeeded in ruling Egypt until the rule came to the 
god (Hr), who in turn bequeathed it to the kings of the dynastic periods after that so the Thrones is 
one of the most symbolic places of governance in ancient Egypt, and In addition to the actual pieces 
discovered primarily in royal and private tombs chambers, there are countless representations of 
furniture painted and carved on tombs walls and these are invaluable for the study of the thrones at 
ancient Egypt. This article on the royal throne in ancient Egypt includes investigations in the areas of 
lexico semantics, the history of forms and its symbolism. It is an attempt to gain an overview of the 
position and significance of the ruler's seat in ancient Egyptian culture and its function in kingship.
